85655The New Student's Reference Work — Davis Strait


Davis Strait washes the western coast of Greenland, and joins Baffin’s Bay to the Atlantic Ocean.  At its narrowest point, just north of the Arctic circle, the Strait measures about 200 miles across.  Ginnunga Gap, spoken of in the old Norse sagas, is now known to be Davis Strait.
